January 7, 2017

One option for Christmas trees is buying potted ones to replant. Just delivered this one to my brother for a new home in New Jersey.

Did a quick visit to Joe and Pat's Pizza on Victory Boulevard. Great extra cheese pie. The Staten Island Advance recently had a "Best Pizza" Poll. Joe and Pat's came in sixth (poll was updated see next linked article.) My vote for Denino's came in third. Winner was a place I never tried: Mona Lisa Pizzeria. The comments on both linked articles are pretty funny. I will have to try Mona Lisa the next time I am out there.

Last night I was screaming at the TV "Put in Derrick Rose." The coach was right keeping Ron Baker in, he was instrumental in a great come-back win.

$25 win !

weren't you? You were a very apt pupil! Well, why did you pick on me?
Why me?
